CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims priority to German Patent Application No. 10 2017 217 455.2, filed Sep. 29, 2017, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a cosmetic composition based on two specific copolymers for firming hair or for temporarily reshaping keratin fibres, in particular human hair, and a method and utilisation of this composition, and use thereof to improve long-term hold and resistance to moisture.

BACKGROUND

The temporary shaping of hairstyles for a relatively long period of time up to several days generally requires the application of firming active ingredients. Hair treatment agents that serve to temporarily shape the hair thus play an important role. Appropriate agents for temporary deformation usually contain synthetic polymers and/or wax as firming active ingredient. Agents for assisting the temporary reshaping of keratinous fibres can be provided for example in the form of hairspray, hair wax, hair gel or hair mousse.

The most important property of an agent for the temporary deformation of hair, also referred to hereinafter as styling agents, lies in providing the treated fibres with the greatest possible hold in the newly modelled form—i.e. a form impressed on the hair. Reference is also made to a strong hairstyle hold or to a high holding power of the styling agent. The hold of a hairstyle is determined fundamentally by the type and quantity of the used firming active ingredient, however the further constituents of the styling agent can also have an effect.

In addition to a high holding power, styling agents must also satisfy a wide range of further requirements. These can be divided roughly into properties on the hair, properties of the particular formulation, for example properties of the mousse, of the gel, or of the sprayed aerosol, and properties that concern the handling of the styling agent, wherein the properties on the hair are attributed particular importance. In particular, moisture resistance, low stickiness (tack), and a balanced conditioning effect can be cited. Furthermore, a styling agent should be universally usable for all hair types where possible and should be mild on the hair and skin.

In order to satisfy the different requirements, a multiplicity of synthetic polymers which are used in styling agents have already been developed as firming active ingredients. These polymers can be divided into cationic, anionic, non-ionic and amphoteric firming polymers.

European patent application EP 3 069 709 A1 describes cosmetic polymer blends for the hair which, besides an oxyalkylene polymer, also contain the hydrophobically modified (meth)acrylic acid copolymer with the commercial name Luvigel Fit (INCI: Acrylates (C10-30) Alkyl Methacrylate Copolymer).

International patent application WO 2013/091993 A1 describes a styling agent based on a specific polymer combination comprising a polymer with the INCI name Vinyl Caprolactam/VP/Dimethylaminoethyl Methacrylate Copolymer.

When applied to the hair, the polymers ideally form a polymer film on the hair that on the one hand provides the hairstyle with a strong hold, but on the other hand is sufficiently flexible so as not to break when stressed. If the polymer film is too brittle, what are known as film flakes form, that is to say residues that detach as the hair moves and give the impression that the user of the corresponding styling agent has dandruff. Similar problems are encountered when wax is used as firming active ingredient in the styling agent. If the styling agent is a gel or a paste, the polymers should additionally have thickening properties.

BRIEF SUMMARY

Cosmetic compositions for temporarily reshaping keratin fibres and methods for the temporary deformation of keratinous fibres are provided herein. In an embodiment, a cosmetic composition for temporarily reshaping keratin fibres includes a) at least one non-cross-linked, hydrophobically modified (meth)acrylic acid copolymer and b) at least one vinyl caprolactam copolymer.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following detailed description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the disclosure or the application and uses of the subject matter as described herein. Furthermore, there is no intention to be bound by any theory presented in the preceding background or the following detailed description.

One object of the present disclosure was to provide a further suitable polymer combination which is exemplified by good film-forming and/or firming properties, a very high degree of hold without having to compromise on flexibility and good moisture resistance—in particular resistance to perspiration and water—and which additionally is suitable for the production of stable viscous and stable transparent cosmetic compositions. In particular, currently available styling agents can be improved even further in that a good combination of stiffness and long-term hold (high humidity curl retention) is not always ensured sufficiently. One object of the present disclosure is therefore to provide styling agents that, besides the above-mentioned properties, in particular also produce good stiffness and a good long-term hold.

This has been achieved as contemplated herein by a combination of two specific anionic copolymers.

It has surprisingly been found within the scope of the present disclosure that an improved hold of styling products can be achieved by combining two constituents known per se which are already used in styling products. Other properties usually required of styling products, such as resistance to moisture, stiffness and low tack, are retained. A good combination of properties of this kind was not anticipated, not even in the knowledge of the individual components, and was surprising. It has been found by way of experimentation that an effect going significantly beyond a mere additive effect of said constituents, i.e. a synergistic effect, is obtained in respect of the hold and was demonstrated in the HHRC test (high humidity curl retention test).

The term “keratin fibres” as contemplated herein comprises fur, wool and feathers, but in particular human hair.

The key constituents of the cosmetic composition are the non-cross-linked, hydrophobically modified copolymer a) and the vinyl caprolactam copolymer b) different from the copolymer a).

Besides the above-mentioned advantages, the cosmetic compositions are exemplified compared to alternative cosmetic agents also by an improved long-term hold. A ratio by weight of the polymers a) and b) in the cosmetic composition of from about 10:1 to about 1:10, preferably from about 5:1 to about 1:5, and in particular from about 3:1 to about 1:3 has proven to be particularly advantageous for the cosmetic properties of the agents as contemplated herein, for example the resistance to moisture and low tack.

A second essential constituent of the cosmetic composition is the vinyl caprolactam copolymer b).

The copolymers b) used in the cosmetic compositions are preferably non-ionic or cationic.

Cationic polymers are understood to be polymers having a group that can be “temporarily” cationic or “permanently” cationic in the main and/or side chain.

As contemplated herein, “permanently cationic” polymers are those which comprise a cationic group irrespective of the pH value of the agent. These are generally polymers which contain a quaternary nitrogen atom, for example in the form of an ammonium group. Preferred cationic polymers are quaternary ammonium groups. Polymers in which the quaternary ammonium group is bonded via a C1-4 hydrocarbon group to a polymer main chain constructed from acrylic acid, methacrylic acid or derivatives thereof have proven to be particularly suitable.

“Temporarily cationic” polymers are those for which cationisation is dependent on the pH value. These polymers usually contain an amino group that is present in protic solvents as protonated ammonium group and is thus present in cationic form.

The copolymers b) are particularly preferably non-ionic or temporarily cationic.

Preferred cosmetic compositions contain a copolymer b) comprising at least one structural unit of formula (M1) and at least one structural unit of formula (M2) and at least one structural unit of formula (M3),

in which R¹ stands for a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, X¹ stands for an oxygen atom or an NH group, A¹ stands for an ethan-1,2-diyl, propan-1,3-diyl or butan-1,4-diyl group, R² and R³ stand independently of one another for a (C₁ to C₄) alkyl group.

R¹ in formula (M3) preferably stands for a methyl group.

Examples of (C₁ to C₄) alkyl groups according to formula (M3) are methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, n-propyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, isobutyl and tert-butyl. R² and R³ in formula (M3) preferably stand for a methyl group.

Very particularly suitable polymers of this embodiment comprise at least one structural unit of formula (M3), in which A¹ stands for an ethan-1,2-diyl group and X¹ stands for an oxygen atom.

Again, a polymer of this kind preferably comprises at least one structural unit of formula (M1) and at least one structural unit of formula (M2) and at least one structural unit of formula (M3-1)

in which R² and R³ independently of one another stand for a (C₁ to C₄) alkyl group, in particular for methyl. Examples of (C₁ to C₄) alkyl groups according to formula (M3-1) are methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, n-propyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, isobutyl and tert-butyl.

The cosmetic composition, as copolymer b), very particularly preferably contains a terpolymer of N-vinyl caprolactam, N-vinylpyrrolidone and N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate. Such copolymers can be obtained for example under the trade names Advantage LC-E (INCI name: Vinylcaprolactam/VP/Dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate Copolymer, Laurylpyrrolidone; about 37% by weight active substance in ethanol with addition of N-Laurylpyrrolidone), Advantage S (INCI name: Vinylcaprolactam/VP/Dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate Copolymer, 100% by weight active substance, powder) or Advantage LC-A (INCI name: Vinylcaprolactam/VP/Dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate Copolymer; about 37% by weight active substance in ethanol) from the company Ashland.

In a second preferred embodiment the copolymer b) is obtained by copolymerisation of the monomers N-vinylpyrrolidone, N-vinyl caprolactam and N,N-dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamide.

Preferred copolymers b) include to an extent at least about 90% by weight, preferably at least about 95% by weight, and in particular at least about 97% by weight of the monomers N-vinylpyrrolidone, N-vinyl caprolactam and N,N-dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamide. Particularly preferred copolymers b) are obtained exclusively from the monomers N-vinylpyrrolidone, N-vinyl caprolactam and N,N-dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamide. Such copolymers are obtainable for example under the trade name Aquaflex SF 40 (INCI name: VP/Vinyl Caprolactam/DMAPA Acrylates Copolymer, Alcohol Denat.; from about 38 to about 42% by weight active substance in ethanol) from the company ISP.

The proportion by weight of the copolymer b) in the total weight of the composition is preferably from about 0.05 to about 10% by weight, particularly preferably from about 0.05 to about 7.0% by weight, and in particular from about 0.1 to about 5.0% by weight.

The cosmetic composition of the present disclosure preferably contains one or more further polymers which is/are different from the copolymers a) and b) and for example assists/assist the thickening agents or the gel formation or the film formation.

The further component acting as gel former is preferably a homopolyacrylic acid (INCI: Carbomer), which is commercially available under the name Carbopol® in various embodiments. The carbomer is preferably contained in a proportion of from about 0.02 to about 3% by weight, preferably from about 0.05 to about 1.5% by weight, and even more preferably from about 0.2 to about 0.8% by weight, in relation to the total weight of the cosmetic composition.

In order to further increase their cosmetic effect, besides the copolymers a) and b) and optionally added thickening agent or gel former, preferred compositions additionally contain a film-forming polymer c) different from these ingredients, in particular an anionic or non-ionic polymer c).

Examples of non-ionic polymers are:

Vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl ester copolymers, as are sold for example under the trademark Luviskol (BASF). Luviskol VA 64 and Luviskol VA 73, each vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymers, are preferred non-ionic polymers.

Cellulose ethers, such as hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose and methylhydroxypropyl cellulose, as are sold for example under the trade names Culminal and Benecel (AQUALON).

Shellac.

Polyvinylpyrrolidones, as are sold for example under the name Luviskol (BASF).

Siloxanes. These siloxanes can be both water-soluble and water-insoluble. Both volatile and non-volatile siloxanes are suitable, wherein compounds of which the boiling point at normal pressure is above about 200° C. are understood to be non-volatile siloxanes. Preferred siloxanes are polydialkylsiloxanes, such as polydimethyl siloxane, polyalkylaryl siloxanes, such as polyphenylmethyl siloxane, ethoxylated polydialkyl siloxanes, and polydialkyl siloxanes which contain amine and/or hydroxy groups.

Particularly preferred cosmetic agents have a proportion by weight of the polyvinylpyrrolidone and/or vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer c) in the total weight of the cosmetic agent of from about 2.0 to about 8.5% by weight, preferably from about 3.0 to about 7.0% by weight.

The cosmetic composition as contemplated herein can contain further conventional substances of styling products. In particular, additional nourishing substances can be mentioned as further auxiliaries and additives.

As nourishing substances, the product can contain at least one protein hydrolysate and/or a derivative thereof, for example. Protein hydrolysates are product mixtures which are obtained by acid-catalysed, base-catalysed or enzymatically catalysed breakdown of proteins. The term “protein hydrolysates” is understood as contemplated herein to also mean total hydrolysates and also individual amino acids and derivatives thereof as well as mixtures of different amino acids. The molecular weight of the protein hydrolysates usable as contemplated herein lies between about 75, the molecular weight for glycine, and about 200,000, and the molecular weight is preferably from about 75 to about 50,000, and very particularly preferably from about 75 to about 20,000 daltons.

As nourishing substance, the agent as contemplated herein can also contain at least one vitamin, a provitamin, a vitamin precursor and/or one of the derivatives thereof. Here, vitamins, provitamins and vitamin precursors that are usually assigned to the groups A, B, C, E, F and H are preferred as contemplated herein.

Similarly to the addition of glycerol and/or propylene glycol, the addition of panthenol increases the flexibility of the polymer film formed with application of the product as contemplated herein.

As nourishing substance, the agents as contemplated herein can also contain at least one plant extract, but also monosaccharides or oligosaccharides and/or lipids.

Oil bodies are also suitable as nourishing substance. Natural and synthetic cosmetic oil bodies include, for example, plant oils, liquid paraffin oils, isoparaffin oils and synthetic hydrocarbons as well as di-n-alkyl ethers having a total of between about 12 and about 36 C atoms, in particular from about 12 to about 24 C atoms. Preferred cosmetic agents as contemplated herein contain at least one oil body, preferably at least one oil body from the group of silicone oils. The group of silicone oils includes, in particular, the dimethicones, which also include the cyclomethicones, the aminofunctional silicones, and also the dimethiconols. The dimethicones can be both linear and branched and cyclic, or cyclic and branched. Suitable silicone oils or silicone gums are in particular dialkyl and alkylaryl siloxanes, such as dimethyl polysiloxane and methylphenyl polysiloxane, and the alkoxylated, quaternised, or anionic derivatives thereof. Cyclic and linear polydialkyl siloxanes, the alkoxylated and/or aminised derivatives thereof, dihydroxypolydimethyl siloxanes and polyphenyl alkyl siloxanes are preferred.

Ester oils, i.e. esters of C6-C30 fatty acids with C2-C30 fatty alcohols, preferably monoesters of the fatty acids with alcohols having from about 2 to about 24 C atoms, such as isopropylmyristate (Rilanit® IPM), isononanoic acid C16-18 alkyl ester (Cetiol® SN), 2-ethylhexyl palmitate (Cegesoft® 24), stearic acid-2-ethylhexyl ester (Cetiol® 868), cetyl oleate, glycerol tricaprylate, coconut fatty alcohol caprinate/caprylate (Cetiol® LC), n-butyl stearate, oleyl erucate (Cetiol® J 600), isopropyl palmitate (Rilanite® IPP), oleyl oleate (Cetiol®), lauric acid hexyl ester (Cetiol® A), di-n-butyl adipate (Cetiol® B), myristyl myristate (Cetiol® MM), cetearyl isononanoate (Cetiol® SN), and oleic acid decyl ester (Cetiol® V) are further preferred nourishing oil bodies.

Furthermore, dicarboxylic acid esters, symmetrical, asymmetrical or cyclic esters of carbon dioxide with fatty alcohols, tri fatty acid esters of saturated and/or unsaturated linear and/or branched fatty acids with glycerol or fatty acid partial glycerides, which are understood to mean monoglycerides, diglycerides and technical mixtures thereof, are to be understood as nourishing substances.

Emulsifiers or surface-active agents are also preferably contained in the composition as contemplated herein. PEG derivatives of hydrogenated castor oil which are obtainable for example under the name PEG Hydrogenated Castor Oil are preferred, for example PEG-30 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, PEG-33 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, PEG-35 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, PEG-36 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, or PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil. The use of PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is preferred as contemplated herein. These are preferably contained in an amount of from about 0.05 to about 1.5% by weight, more preferably from about 0.1 to about 1.0% by weight, also preferably from about 0.2 to about 0.8% by weight or from about 0.3 to about 0.6% by weight. Besides the tailored provision, in particular the ease with which the cosmetic compositions can be washed out is also improved by the addition of the surface-active substances, in particular the aforementioned PEG derivatives of hydrogenated castor oil.

The cosmetic compositions as contemplated herein contain the ingredients or active substances in a cosmetically acceptable carrier.

Preferred cosmetically acceptable carriers are aqueous, alcoholic, or aqueous-alcoholic media with preferably at least about 10% by weight water, calculated on the basis of the total weight of the composition. The cosmetic carrier particularly preferably contains water, in particular in such an amount that the cosmetic composition, calculated on the basis of its total weight, contains at least about 20% by weight, in particular at least about 40.0% by weight, most preferably about 70% by weight of water. Cosmetic compositions that are very particularly preferred comprise, in relation to their total weight, a water content between about 50 and about 95% by weight, preferably between about 60 and about 90% by weight, and in particular between about 65 and about 85% by weight.

As alcohols, the lower alcohols with from about 1 to about 4 carbon atoms usually used in particular for cosmetic purposes, such as ethanol and isopropanol, can be contained.

Examples of water-soluble solvents as cosolvents are glycerol and/or ethylene glycol and/or 1,2-propylene glycol in an amount of from about 0 to about 30% by weight in relation to the total product.

The composition of some preferred cosmetic agents can be deduced from the following tables (specified amounts in % by weight are in relation to the total weight of the cosmetic agent unless specified otherwise).

The entry “Misc” is to be understood as contemplated herein to mean a cosmetic carrier, in particular water (unless listed separately) and optionally further usual constituents of styling products.

The cosmetic composition of the present disclosure can be provided in the forms that are usual for the temporary reshaping of hair, for example as a hair gel, hairspray, hair mousse, or hair wax. The cosmetic composition is preferably provided as a hair gel.

Both hair mousses and hairsprays require the presence of propellants. As contemplated herein, however, no hydrocarbons or only small quantities of hydrocarbons should preferably be used for this. Propane, propane/butane mixtures and dimethyl ethers are particularly suitable propellants as contemplated herein.

The present disclosure also relates to the use of cosmetic compositions as contemplated herein for temporarily reshaping keratin fibres, in particular human hair, and to a method for the temporary deformation of keratin fibres, in particular human hair, in which the cosmetic composition as contemplated herein is applied to keratin fibres and the form of said fibres is temporarily fixed.

A further subject of this patent application is the use of a cosmetic composition as contemplated herein to improve the hold of temporarily deformed keratin fibres.

A last subject matter of this patent application is the use of a cosmetic composition as contemplated herein to improve the moisture resistance of temporarily deformed keratin fibres.
